These past 6 months have FLOWN by!
I can't believe that Wyatt and I have been married for six months! That's crazy
to me! It seems like just yesterday we were walking out of the temple together.
At work the other day, someone reminded me that I will have been married for 6
months and that they no longer considered me a newlywed!! As sad as that is, I
believe it's true! Especially in our ward, it seems like there is someone new
every week. Couples that have only been married for 2 weeks or something. I
can't believe that I am reach the end of the beginning in this new chapter of
my life! So many things have happened this past six months it's crazy!

First I guess I could mention we got on apartment!
Our very first place! It's cute and we love it. I know I've mentioned it in one
of my other posts, but it's worth mentioning again. this was when we got the
Key!

Then I guess I should mention our first semester
being married. Okay, I know people say this all the time, but this semester has
really been so quick! I have not had a quicker semester! I took some really fun
classes this semester, one of my favorites being floral design. My least
favorite being sewing, solely because I thought I wouldn't survive it.

Wyatt played in an football team at BYU with his
friends, he did great, and really enjoyed it :) I'm glad I got married to an
active person, he makes up for my lack there of :)

We had our first Halloween together! We were
the Birds and the Bees! We went to a ward party, a party with some
friends, and we visited my old roommates, and some of my other friends, It was
definitely a lot of fun!

We said bye to my brother Marco, who joined the
Navy. We were sad to see him go, but we are trying to keep up our writing to
him. He's a great kid and we are SO proud of him!

We've loved hanging out with our family. One of our
favorite things to do is just go to our families houses and watch TV, or just
be with the family. That was a lot of fun! We also went to see the Blindside
with Thomas and Alex. It was fantastic!

We went to see TWIGHLIGHT, a day earlier than it
came out with my brother Hoss :). Alex got his mission call!! He is
going to the Texas... mission. He leaves march 28? We are so proud of him
and excited for him!

BYU won the U of U VS. BYU
game. Wyatt's dream come true! needless to say he was a HAPPYboy.
He was SO excited, he ate the grass on the field when he rushed it. It was
definitely a happy day for my husband. Unfortunately I didn't go to that game,
I was sick, but here are some pictures from others! (and a picture I stole off
of my sister-in-laws blog. :)

We've gone camping together with both families!
That was fun :) camping when you are married is SO much better than going when
your single :)

We survived our first week of finals together! Here
is a picture of our celebratory lunch!

We bought our first christmas tree, and set it up!
(Yes that is pictures of us on the tree, we didn't have christmas ornaments!)
and put presents under it! Yay christmas is SO close!

Last but not least, we celebrated our six months
together! We went to Olive Garden to celebrate. I can't believe how incredibly
lucky I am to be married to Wyatt! He is my best friend. I am the happiest
luckiest girl in the world. Thanks to the gospel and temples, I will be for
ever and ever!! for Eternity I love you dear and I am SO happy
we married.

I've reached the end of the beginning chapter of my
married life. I can't believe were not newlyweds anymore! (well to some people
we still are) Time flies when you are having fun with your best friend.

I realized today while I was playing around with my
blog, that I hadn't even mentioned my job. In case you didn't know I work at
the Provo hospital (aka. Utah Valley Regional Medical Center ) I am a nurse
assistant in the Pediatric Unit. I have worked there for a year and a half now,
and wow has been an experience! I have ran around loopy with the other night
staff at 3 am. I've colored on the windows of room, played hopscotch, blown
bubbles, and wiped many tears and boogers. So many little people have touched
my life, I never knew how much I LOVED kids! (don't get any
ideas I'm not pregnant, nor am I working on it) I have had the opportunity to
be asked out on my dates from little boys ranging from the ages of three to
six. Had my hair braided by cute little girls. (did some hair braiding myself)
I have even been called "Mommy" on two or three occasions :) I love
the people I work with, they are all great! I love the patients, they're cute!
I'm so happy that the Lord has given me the opportunity to work in Pediatrics,
because it ROCKS!

Below are some pictures, actually lots. Enjoy?

Here is our Playroom, I've spent LOTS of time in
here :)

These dogs are "therapeutic" the kids
love them, and as you can see, so do I

Dennis, now Dennis is one of my favorite parts of
my job! He's the only male nurse I've worked with, and he is a HOOT!
He always has something funny to say, always complaining about being the only
male staff member in Pediatrics. Funny thing is that kids LOVE him! I mean he
gets Christmas cards and presents from patients that left years ago. Anyways,
there's something special about Dennis, we all love having him around. He's
great. (this is him drawing on the windows of patient rooms, he often times
draws really weird things... his latest weird drawing was a pumpkin pooping out
pumpkin pie, gross huh?) (The window crayons were a gift from one of our
patients, they wanted Dennis to be do something with his time or something :)

...and this is me drawing on the windows too. :)

This is Anne, I work with her probably more than I
work with anyone else. She's normally the Charge Nurse. She always knows how to
keep her cool in crazy situations. (which happen A LOT) I'm always happy to see
her name on the board, I enjoy working with her and love her to pieces! By the
way, I did that to her hand!

That was posted in the employee bathroom :)

I found this picture online when I did a a search
on google for the provo hospital. The picture came attached to an article written
about Child life specialists. I work with three of these, one that I actually
met just today. They are part of the staff that makes Peds SO much fun!
